>without actually explaining how or what her personality is>She was a girly girl, liked to bake, had a crush on Ash, and eventually came into her own by finding her goal and passion. Serenas role for the first 40 episodes was trying new things, to find a goal and ambition - through all of those different episodes we saw her personality and what her characteristics are. Serena's crush on Ash gave her more personality then any companion Ash has had so far. Not because it's cute or because shipping is great, but because it was a key part of her personality and character which played major contributions to her development through the series. Serena's crush was the best thing to happen to her, had that not been a part of her character a lot of her charm would have been lost, a lot of the interest in her would have disappeared. People liked Serena because she kept us on our toes - no one, no one at all expected her to turn down Yashio and go to Hoenn.
